Chapter 930: Stone Eye (2)
“We have a traitor among us,” Zhou Shisan’s words were shocking.
His gaze swept the crowd, lingering briefly on each person’s face. Finally, it settled on Li Xiaofei, whose heart skipped a beat.
Could this guy be planning to use this opportunity to falsely accuse me?
Just as Li Xiaofei grew wary, Zhou Shisan shouted loudly, “Guards, arrest Lao Xinhua!”
Whoosh, whoosh.
In an instant, more than a dozen figures darted like lightning toward a figure in the crowd. Their target was the cold, enchanting woman with a human body and a snake tail.
“What are you doing?!” She demanded furiously as she assumed a defensive stance.
As one of the top ten nobles present at tonight’s banquet, this magnetic Reaper named Lao Xinhua came from the Dusa clan. Her cultivation was at a high stage within the Seven Transformation Realm. She was not someone to be trifled with.
“Zhou Shisan, you dare slander me?” Lao Xinhua’s aura surged as she faced the experts surrounding her, glaring angrily at Zhou Shisan.
“Slander you?” Zhou Shisan sneered. “If it weren’t for you providing the original poison, allowing everyone to be unknowingly poisoned, how else could that explosion have killed so many? Am I slandering you? We only need to extract the toxin from everyone’s bodies and analyze it. If it matches your clan’s signature toxin, Stone Eye, then we’ll have our answer.”
The words caused the crowd’s gaze toward Lao Xinhua to grow suspicious. The Dusa clan’s signature poison, Stone Eye, indeed had the effect of silently poisoning others. Its effects felt extremely similar to the numbness and sluggishness many now felt within themselves.
Lao Xinhua furiously retorted, “Even if it’s Stone Eye, there are thousands of members in the Dusa clan. Our enemies could have obtained it elsewhere. How can you prove it was me?”
